When I'm not running TTRPGs, I am out with a camera, capturing humans mark in the spaces they live in. #photography #food #waste #YYC #Urban #photos #colours #focus #beauty

Humans completing a rotation around the sun. #HappyNewYear

Four men sitting on a couch together, all of them cheering at different levels of enthusiasm. They progressively get more blurry to indicate more excitement and movement.

It felt good to be back out and capturing some good shots. The bright sun is still a challenge, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out with time. #photos #photography #photographer #yyc #yycliving #urbanlife #citylife #fallvibes #falltime

I really like painting on smaller canvases. I don’t know why. They bring me unabashed joy. #painting #artist #miniaturepainting

I had the joy of experiencing the Days of Yore festival and I captured some unique moments. #photography #photos #vikings #knights #jousting #battle #reenactments #medieval #yyc

Two Vikings do battle to see who will win the skirmish.

The red knight celebrates in victory of scoring the point in the joust by thumping his shield.

Two knights charge head on with their lances connecting. The red knight scores over the purple knight.
